I feel......?

Tuesday, June 14, 2011

This afternoon I taught my students two songs about Oceans and Continents. They were to the tunes, Row, Row, Row your boat, and My Bonnie Lies over the ocean. It was a blast teaching them the songs, and making up motions to go along with it! During their art time, Miss Laird and I went over my lesson plan for Thursday, because Dr. Wood will be coming to observe my teaching. I will be teaching a lesson on maps, so we were working out the details of that.

French was cancelled last minute for the class, and because the weather was nice, we were able to take the kids out for the last half hour of the school day. We walked back into their “outside classroom” which consisted of walking underneath some trees by the school, and sitting on logs. We had circle time, “and shared some of our feelings. The two prompts for the students were, “I feel nervous when..?” and “People are the same because…?”

After, we played a silly game where one student would say an emotion, and we would all have to make a face that captured that emotion. Absolutely HILARIOUS! I was able to get a few snapshots of the kids during this game:

I feel.....excited!!!!!

I feel.....SHOCKED!

I feel.....HAPPY =)

I feel........? HAHAHA!

After school, Dr. Wood picked me up because I’m still feeling a little sick. We went to the Pharmacy in town, and the pharmacist prescribed me some medicine. Hopefully I’ll be feeling back to 100% real soon!
While procrastinating homework, some of us girls decided to go outside and have “Tea Time”. Caitlin so kindly picked each of us daisy flowers, while Lauren taught us all proper etiquette. We sipped tea and ate chocolate, while listening to classical music. It was lovely!

For dinner, we had chicken fajitas, which were DELICIOUS! Definitely the best meal we’ve had so far! After dinner, some of the team went to play games with a local church group, but since I haven’t been feeling well, I stayed back at the house to rest and work on my lesson plan.
One everyone got back, we decided to walk to ASDA (a local grocery store) and buy ice cream. It was a fun time, and wonderful to get out of the house and enjoy the nice weather. It’s crazy to think we did this at 9:00 tonight, all in broad daylight. It doesn’t get dark here until around 11:00 at night! It’s dark outside now, so I know that can only mean one thing; I’ve been up far too long, and it’s time to call it a night!
